EU website launches with a picture of Hitler, then crashes

The EU has launched a search engine to rival Google. Only, this being Europe, it's state-funded to the tune of â‚¬250 million. When it launched, (hat tip, eursoc) its home page featured a picture of Hitler and a bit of porn. Who said the EU was out of touch with modern consumers? Get with the beat, daddio.

Now, it has crashed altogether. At the time of writing, the site reads: "We are doing our best to reopen Europeana.eu in a more robust version". What a perfect metaphor for European integration.
